Hard-rock survivors Nine Inch Nails and Soundgarden have paired up for a North American tour and will spend five weeks this summer reminding much of the country why their solemn, often heavy-hearted music has endured nearly three decades.

Famed frontmen Trent Reznor and Chris Cornell and their bands will hit New Jersey twice during the tour: July 30 at Susquehanna Bank Center in Camden and Aug. 2 at PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel.

Death Grips, an experimental hip-hop outfit from California will open.

The bands, who each found great success in the '90s alternative scene, will both be touring in support of recent releases. Nine Inch Nails released "Hesitation Marks" in summer 2013, and Soundgarden put out "King Animal" late in 2012.

Okay, 2012 isn't so recent, but after a 12-year hiatus, any new music from Cornell and his buddies stays fresh a little while longer.
